Seeking Mid/Senior Retro Computer (70’s/80’s) Game Artist (Concept Screens & Asset Creation)
About Us:
Misfits Attic is the award winning indie studio behind Duskers and A Virus Named TOM. We’re working on our next titles and need your help!
About You:
We are seeking a talented artist to help us define the look and style of an unannounced project. This project will have a lo-fi aesthetic similar to our last title Duskers, using a 70’s/80’s retro look (think glitchy, old, bright vector graphics on black background, or similar vibe to Duskers, akin to old computer games on a CRT from the 70’s and 80’s). The game will have a bit of a horror slant to it.
The artist will need to create and iterate on a concept screenshot, then break out elements into assets that can be integrated into the game. Currently, we're working in 3D but with a design (and characters) that looks primarily 2D with some simple dynamic/3D elements. So 2D, 3D, or a mixture of the two could work. Ideally characters would also be created, but we could refine character details later with a character artist.
Characters will need to be recognizable when small on screen, which likely lends itself to a somewhat graphic look.
Preference will be given to those that demonstrate this or a similar style in their portfolio.

We’re the game studio behind Duskers and A Virus Named TOM. Independent studio, which we’re sure you can tell from our website. We want to make big small games with attitude, create immersive worlds that you want to share with your friends, and bring our dark sense of humor to your living room.
Our founding members have over 30 years of experience in the film, game, and design industries. We’re passionate about great, original game design, and committed to creating a balanced work/life atmosphere.
In Duskers you pilot drones into derelict spaceships to find the means to survive and piece together how the universe became a giant graveyard.
A perfect place. A city without traffic. A dog that doesn't poop. All products of the brilliant mind of Dr. X, but hell hath no fury like a mad scientist fired by a giant corporation. In this unique action-puzzler you take control of TOM, a virus created for one purpose: revenge.
We’ve been lucky to have some incredible jobs working at and partnering with some of the biggest brands in video games.
But we’ve never had more fun and been more fulfilled than when we were working with indie game developers.
Everyone in games should have that much fun.
Our hope is that Work With Indies will connect job seekers with the most rewarding, most inspirational, and most fun jobs they've ever had.
